BASE BALL.

The business mems game of base ball
Thursday afternoon on the university
grounds, between the ldain street first
and second block nine (Chicago) and the
Main street third and fourth block nine
(Detroit), was an interesting and anus
ing contest on the diamond There was
large number of spectators present to
enjoy the sport and render applause when
their favorites made brilliant plays, but
in the latter pastime they were not kept
very hoarse. Unlike most Of base ball
games, the victory rested just where it
should, with the third and fourth block,
or Detroit, ball tossers, by the score of 80
to 10, and may be taken as precursor
of Detroit winning the pennant in the
National league this year.
Notwithstanding the preference" of
the Juneau club as published in The
Telephone, TO play the Watertown Mu-
tuals, the Juneau braves declined a spec
ial and pressing invitation to play our
club to-day. By substituting the word
"declined' for "preferred" in the next
Telephone, the Juneau boys would come
nearer expressing their true feelings in
regard to meeting the Watertown ball
players.
The Little Potatoes and the Stars
fought out their promised contest on the
diamond on the fair grounds Sunday af-
ternoon last, the score standing II to II
in favor of the Potatoes. The ninth
inning was commenced with the Stars IL
and the Potatoes 7, but at the close the
Stars found themselves whitewashed and
the Potatoes with tallies to add to their7 .
Two mines made up from Wiggen-
horn Bros cigar-makers played game
of base ball on the Dennis grounds Mon
day afternoon. The score stood: Little
Cigar-makers, II; Big Cigar-makers, II.
A project is on foot to organize a
Jefferson county base ball league. The
county has some good clubs and the for
nation of league would enhance the
interest in the game.

s.Some of the hardest work we had
was the getting olt of the mail-bags
from the room wherA they were slowed
in the bow, but we inet that by simply
cutting hole throu Oh the iron side of
the vessel and getting at them directly.
Otherwise each one would have had to
be carried out eparately, for no tackle
could ever have dragged them out by
the tortuous way they would have hal
to 90. There is a clock that, among
other things, we fisaed out. 1t stopped
at nine minutes before one O'Clock.
the exact time that the vessel went
down. no doubt.
"About the middle of September we
found that we had got out all that could
be rescued that was of any value at all,
and all that was left was to see that
nothing of the vessel was left sticking
up far enough to be an obstruction in
the way Of commerce. We satisfied
ourselves that the highest point OF the
vessel left was twelve fathoms below
| the surface. The foremost had fallen
when she went down, and the main
mast and smoke-stacks were swept
away by the heavy waves made by
storms. All was without the possibility
of doing harm, and on September 9th
we came away.
1.-THE amount that we will receive
for our services can not be fixed until
the underwriters have ascertained the
value of cargo recovered, as our conf
pensation comes in the form OF per-
centage, the proportion of which is. in
every instance dependent upon the
value of the recovery and the difficult
ties attendant upon the work OF sal
wage. The underwriters generally fix
the amount of percentage to be allowed.
People who know little about such mat
tiers are apt to be surprised at our per-
centages and think that we must make
enormous fortunes on every wreck
But they do not know the cost of the
work to us. We have to keep large
and expensive force ready all the time,
and our fires banked ready for instant
service. We have been as much as tive
months with nothing to do, yet under
heavy expenses all the time. And then
when we get to work. see what our OK
penditure must amount to. The fact
Is that there is very much less profit
and far more risk of capital and dan
ger to life in our business than per
sons outside marine circles have any
, idea of. For saving the material OF
, vessel we get from fifty to seventy pei
. cent. of its value. The allowance or
salvage of cargo depends upon circum
stances, and is either privately agreed
| upon with owners or left to the settle
ment of the underwriters. "-Cinci''

WHITE HOUSE LUNCHES.

The Lavish Hospitality Practiced Under
the Jackson and Van Buren, Regimes.
Andrew Jackson entertained lavishly
on the night of his first inauguration.
The carpets Of the e,sst room were
ruined by the orange punch and lem
onade which were served to the crowd
which came to his reception. Barrels
OF this punch were made, and it was
brought into the room in buckets. At
last the people began 70 rush for the
walters as soon ~ they entered the
room. Glasscswe broken and ladies'
dresses ruined. Tubs Of punch were
finally taken into the garden, and in
this way the throng was drawn Oh and
it was possible to serve cake and wine
to the ladies'
At Jackson's farewell reception .
monster cheese, IS big as . hogshead
in circumference and nearly yard
thick, was cut with saw-blades made
into knives and served out to the guests.
Each guest received three pounds of
cheese. The event was the talk Of the
nation, and when Van Buren, became
President his New York friends, emu
lative of jackson, sent him big
cheese. It was cut up in the east
room. The greasy crumbs falling upon
the carpet were trampled into It, and
the ruination of the furniture during
these two administrations led the
later Presidents to discontinue the
practice Of serving eatables at general
receptions. Now no guest comes to a
dinner at the White House unless in
vited. In Van Buren's day, Baconrt,
in his Souvenirs dun Diplomat" says
that the Presidents cook told his valet
that for several months preceding the
election of 1870 many persons arrived
at the White House for breakfast OF
dinner, and threatened to vote against
Van Buren, IL they were not enter
tanned. The cook stated that he had
al the trouble possible in satisfying
them, and they often returned what h
/ sent up. doing so on the pretext tina
| it was uneatable, and ordered some
thing else. = Lippipcosy's Magazine.

A wEleHTy PROBLEM.

Present Phases of the Questions Per-
tsining to the Higher Education Of
woman.
OF late years this question of woman's
work has passed into another phase,
and the crux now is. not so much how
they can be provided with work ade-
quately remunerated, but how they can
fit themselves for doing it without dam
age to their health and those interests
of the race and society which are bound
up with their well-being. This is the
real difficulty. both OF the higher educa-
ton and of the general circumstances
surrounding the self-support of women.
For the strain is severe, and must be,
if they are to successfully compete with
men-undeniably the stronger. both in
mind and body, in intellectual grasp
and staying power, in the faculty of
origination, the capacity for sustained
effort, and in patient perseverance
under arduous and it rlay be dstasteful
labor. But the dream and the chief
endeavor of women now is to do the
same work as men alone have hitherto
done-which means that the weaker
shall come into direct competition with
the stronger-the result being surely a
foregone conclusion. This is the
natural consequence of the degradation
BY women themselves of their own
more fitting work. so that . female
doctor, for the present, holds higher
social position than does the resident
governess. while telegraph-girl may
be lady, but shop girl can not.
For well-paid intellectual work a
! good education is naturally of the first
necessity, and the base on which all the
rest is founded. Wherefore, the higher
education has been organized more as
practical equipment than as an out
come of the purely intellectual desire
of women to learn where they have
nothing to gain by 1t. For all this.
many girls go to Girton and Newman
who do not mean to practically profit
by their education-girls who want to
escape from the narrow limits of the
home, and who yearn after the quasi
independence of college life-girls to
whom the unknown is emphatically the
magnificent, and who desire novelty
before all things; with the remnant Of
the purely studious-those who love
learning for its own sake only. indie
pendent of gain, kudos, freedom or
novelty. But these are the women
who would have studied as ardcntly.
and with less strain. in their own
homes; who would have taken q longer
time over their education, and would
not have hurt their health aud drained
their vital energies by doing in two or
three years what should have taken five
or six; who would have gathered with
more deliberation, not spurred by emu
lation nor driven by competition; and
who, with energy superadded to'their
love Of knowledge, would have made
